Betting Preview Lokomotiv Moscova – Nice
Nice started the round of this match, Mario Balotelli coming out from the start of the match by two goals scored in the first half hour against the up-to-date leader of the Russian championship, Lokomotiv. However, not the Italian striker was the MVP of that party because the Portuguese midfielder Manuel Fernandes came out of the ramp through a hat-trick causing the shock of the first league of the sixteen Europa League and sending Lokomotiv a step closer to the next stage competition.
The French are now in need of 2 goals scored without one, to advance to the best. Swiss manager Lucien Favre will probably place the same 11th on the pitch, hoping to score as quickly as possible to overcome the deficit.
The good news for Nice is that Lokomotiv has received enough goals in the friendly matches of the winter break, and considering that the French have nothing to lose and will give everything to get the best odds for Betano 2.80 share for a goal scored by Mario Balotelli seems to me a bet to consider.
This match will only represent the second meeting between the two teams. As I told you above, Lokomotiv returned in the first match from the Nice 2-0 score by Manuel Fernandes’s hat-trick, the final score of the match being 2-3 for the Russians.
Betting tips Lokomotiv Moscova – Nice
Nice scored 5 consecutive no-win games in all competitions, winning a single draw in the last round of Ligue 1, 1-1 home with Nantes. Since the guests of this game do not do well in the championship (being in 9th place, no chance for a place that ensures the European presence for the next season), I expect Favre to force his students to give their best this game.
Both teams showed vulnerabilities in the defensive last Thursday and I do not expect big changes in the sector this time, so both teams’ bets seem to be a viable choice for this game and seeing Betano’s share for this bet, I can only recommend it with confidence!
Tip: Both teams score (GG), odds 1.75
